If the pun confuses you, look up 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree'!

Another great turnout tonight and we welcomed 2 new lovely runners in Rachel and Susan. Apologies if I forgot to mention there would be a fitness session later on, I hope it didn't come as too much of a surprise hehe.

Also great to see some returning faces :-)

Thanks to Katy for being back runner this week.

On the cards tonight was a visit to Hayden Court, which is a Sheltered Housing Scheme for the elderly. There were several jobs to do including, cleaning a residents cooking hood, sweeping out the garage, cleaning the fire exit stair well, cleaning the skirting boards and the toilets.

It was a bit of a maze to start with, I'm just glad we didn't lose anyone.

At one point I thought we were going to make more of a mess than we started with as Graham's bucket had a hole in it... which we didn't notice until AFTER we got to the top of the stairs haha.

Once we finished we went outside for a group photo... can you notice the 2 masks though???

On the way back we stopped for some push-ups and mountain climbers... as you do. Somehow we ended up in Chapelfield Gardens so we were obliged to do a little sprint effort plus a mini circuit.

We did a little duck walk across the pedestrian crossing going back to The Forum, not sure what the people in the car were thinking as they let us cross!

Then it was time to try Calum's homemade chocolate orange brownies... OMG they were good and so moist - sorry Catherine!

10 of us went for a little social down the pub afterwards so all in all a very splendid evening.

Next week we are planting hanging baskets at The Great Hospital.

After a long winter we finally had daylight at the start of our run... roll on summer!

It was great to welcome Neil on his 1st GoodGym experience.

Well done to Hayley on doing the Wymondham 20-miler on Sunday.

Although she wasn't there tonight, a massive well done to Bek for doing her 1st ever Half Marathon yesterday... not bad considering she only started running about 6 months ago!

Also, some land marks tonight as Tom, Chloe, Sarah & Darren have now each done 10 GoodGym deeds!!!

A thank you to Elizabeth for being back runner tonight.

We had a rare indoor task tonight as we visited the Oxfam charity shop to sort through their book donations. There was a criteria sheet for which books can be kept and which ones had to be recycled... we were interested to hear what the definition of a 'dirty' book is.

Tom and Sarah took charge of the conveyor belt to take the recyclable books downstairs. However much they were tempted, they did refrain from taking a ride down it!

Alex was a little concerned he wasn't allowed in as there was a sign on the door saying 'No Studs Allowed' ... but then his head go bigger so he probably couldn't fit in anyway ;-)

The GoodGym-ers got so much done in 45 minutes (which equates to about 18 hours of volunteering time) and this makes a huge difference to charities like Oxfam who purely rely on volunteers.

On the way back we stopped to have a photo taken in front of a newly erected show piece outside the NUA.

Next week we are having an Easter Monday run to Grapes Hill Community Garden. This is the location of our very 1st Group Run in Norwich.
